Not long after, Zou Taohua's indecent behavior was discovered, and she was scolded for a long time. The news quickly spread throughout the street corner.
This was already a matter that attracted a lot of attention, and once the news spread, everyone started talking about it, and they all condemned Zou Taohua.
The Zou family was dragged into the mess and got dragged into it. There was no way around it; the Zou family deserved a lot of blame for raising such a terrible daughter, so they weren't much better off themselves!
Zou Taohua was furious. Her injuries hadn't fully healed, and she didn't know what had happened. She was truly innocent; she wasn't as bad as those people made her out to be!
She did have a husband, but that happened during the escape from famine. They can't even be found now, so why bring it up again? What's the point?
She has truly changed now, she no longer has those thoughts, she just wants to live a peaceful life with Chen Chong, why is it so difficult?
Can't you give her a chance because she's so pitiful?
Everyone makes mistakes sometimes; it's just a matter of necessity.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of such a method!
We're starving to death. We can't just stand by and watch our whole family starve to death on the way.
Only she has the ability to save them. If she doesn't save them, is she even human?
She herself has to die!
Can't we just not bring up these things?
She really changed later; she has a conscience and doesn't want to lie to people anymore!
As for what happened recently, she wasn't very clear about it. She was exhausted and had injuries that hadn't fully scabbed over yet. How could she possibly do those things on her own initiative?
Someone must have taken advantage of her being asleep, secretly carried her out, and humiliated her!
Their family didn't even have a decent place to live, let alone a door. They just used a broken board to cover it up. It was a beggar's den, and most people wouldn't go there because it smelled terrible!
Logically speaking, no one should touch these dirty beggars, but it's not impossible that someone from there might!
No one believed anything Zou Taohua's family said anymore; everyone only wanted to believe what they saw, and that's how various versions of the legend began.
The buzz surrounding it surged and remained high, successfully making headlines and staying at the top of the list for several days!
Meanwhile, Chen Chong returned to normal, and many people even felt that Chen Chong was a pitiful and honest person who was unlucky to have met such a depraved woman.
Whether it was out of sympathy, to comfort Chen Chong, or to encourage him to live on, it all boosted consumption to some extent, and Chen Chong's stall was always packed with people!
As a result, the nearby stalls also became busier, and their business improved significantly. So those people were eager for Chen Chong's story to stay popular. If the popularity waned, they would even help to revive it, creating a positive image for Chen Chong!
Unexpectedly, the stalls around Chen Chong's location later became incredibly successful!
Those people are very shrewd. They are especially polite to Chen Chong, knowing that if they get along well with Chen Chong, their good luck will continue!
That's something that comes from time and experience!
Anyone who is unfriendly to Chen Chong will see their business decline rapidly, and they won't even be able to find the reason why!
But if you treat Chen Chong well, slowly, it seems like you've caught some good luck, and the business actually recovers, even better than before!
Seeing this, Zhou Qionghua had her own unique thoughts. If Chen Chong had gotten married earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles. It's just that he didn't listen to her and insisted on waiting until the right time!
But Zhou Qionghua forgot one thing: some people don't care whether someone is married or not; if they feel it's okay, then making a scene is inevitable!
If they really get married, it will be even harder to control the situation if things get out of hand!
I can't even imagine it!
Old Mrs. Mo couldn't change Zhou Qionghua's mindset. She often chatted with her younger sister, but it only lasted for a while before she was influenced by other things and reaffirmed her own ideas!
So, Old Mrs. Mo didn't want to get involved too much anymore. She figured it was all fate, and what was destined to happen would happen eventually.
Grandma Mo has become more open-minded. After living in the city for a while, her way of thinking and attitude towards things has changed.
Some things won't develop in the direction you expect just because you try to control them!
Take Chen Chong's case for example, which caused so much trouble, but Zhou Changlin's side didn't have any of these messy things!
There really isn't any at all!
Previously, everyone was worried that the He family would cause trouble and try to drag Zhou Changlin into it, but later it turned out that their worries were unnecessary and nothing happened.
They didn't know what happened to the He family afterward, nor did they care, as long as they didn't cause trouble!
Years later, however, someone brought a young man to the door, claiming to be Zhou Changlin's son. The man said he was no longer able to raise the child and wanted Zhou Changlin to acknowledge his son.
Zhou Changlin recognized at a glance that it was He's son, not his own, so he decisively refused and told the child to find his own parents.
The child was already a young man, of marriageable age. It wasn't impossible that they couldn't afford to raise him, because the family that adopted He's son was already very poor, and the family members had fallen ill, so they didn't have the money to help him get married.
Zhou Changlin didn't know how that person found him, but he didn't pity the child at all. He already had his own family and children, and was very happy. He didn't want these trivial matters to affect his family!
He's not his biological son, so why would he acknowledge him? There's no question of him acknowledging him at all!
He pities others, but who pitied him back then?
He didn't cause other people's misfortune, so why should he pay for it?
He's not the same silly fool he used to be!
That child is clearly Yang Qiusheng's son. The more he grows up, the more he looks like him. They're practically identical. Is he out of his mind? Keeping this person around is just humiliating himself.
No matter what the person said, Zhou Changlin did not agree. He explained the whole story to the child and made it clear that they had no relationship and he had no obligation to help.
Whoever's child it is, they should go to them; that's the right thing to do!
Fortunately, Zhou Changlin's later wife was understanding. After learning the truth, she did not make a scene and felt sorry for her husband who had suffered such humiliation!
These are all things that happened later, so we won't go into them now.
At this point, Zhou Changlin could be said to have a stroke of good luck. The more he did, the smoother things became, and the better he did!
Without emotional entanglements, he doesn't need to be distracted and can focus on doing his own thing!
Besides, he's someone who knows how to seize opportunities and is also able to stay focused, so he makes rapid progress.
Seeing her son's behavior, Wang did not urge him to get married, but secretly observed him, hoping to find a suitable daughter-in-law.
However, Wang's eldest daughter-in-law was not someone she found herself. Zhou Changlin's second destiny had not yet arrived; when it did, she would naturally appear.
Overthinking is useless!
Her second daughter-in-law was a very kind person, and could be described as very virtuous!
